NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW OF Little Women

A Tomboy With Gumption (and Her Sisters)

Ben Brantley

January 24, 2005: Sutton Foster never merely walks when she can scamper in the new musical "Little Women," which opened last night at the Virginia Theater. Playing Jo the tomboy in this perky, sketchy adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's classic novel of a New England girlhood, Ms. Foster creates a dizzyingly hyperkinetic creature who, were she living in the 21st century instead of the 19th, would probably be on heavy doses of Ritalin.
